Where can a freshman nursing student get a job?


I am looking for a job, but since I am a nursing student and will work as a nurse after i graduate, i was thinking of applying for a job in a clinic or healthcare setting. But who would hire a freshman, and if i did get hired, what kind of work would i be doing. I already volunteer at a hospice and want to earn some money. where should i apply?

Get your CNA license. Especially if you have never worked in healthcare!! It normally only takes 8-12 weeks and you will gain invaluable experience! It will also give you insight into nursing as a career. I have worked with so many CNA's who thought they wanted to be nurses.. got accepted in the programs and decided it really wasn't the job they wanted after all. Plus you can normally work two 12 hour shifts a week while in the nursing program.. so you can still make money without completely over-extending yourself.

I would think nursing school would be a great source for those job referrals.

I've tried Pizza Hut for that, and trust me, that's a dead end.

alot of larger hospitals will hire and train nursing students as CNA's....hard work but really good experience. You can also look into being a medical assistant at a local doctor's office.
